Chapter 6: It’s Not You They’re Talking About

As if not expecting that she would actually guess correctly, Lu Yan's expression turned even grimmer. After hesitating for a few seconds, he said in a cold voice, "You guessed right."

"What, feeling hurt?" Seeing his bad complexion, Ning Anmiao smiled indifferently. "Don't take it seriously. It's not you being scolded. It's me."

She didn't seem to care, as if she was already used to all this. Instead, she comforted him, "Don't take such gossips to heart."

"If I were to be sad every time they said something, wouldn't I have been depressed long ago?"

When she said all this, her eyes and brows were filled with casualness and calmness. "Moreover, when I decided to marry you, I was already prepared."

Prepared to be against the whole world.

It was a pity that she still lost.

After hearing her answer, Lu Yan's eyes darkened a bit, and his eyes were filled with indescribable emotions.

"Anyway, it doesn't matter."

Ning Anmiao leaned back lazily, and her voice was filled with a lightness of relief. "After we swap our bodies back, we'll get a divorce."

"In this way, no one will say such things about me anymore."

When she said this, Ning Anmiao was smiling.

Although she was smiling, one could clearly read a bit of bitterness and relief from it.

Yes, by then, everything would be over.

Their marriage, the grievances and hardships she had endured, and the days and nights of swallowing her anger over the years.

It should have ended long ago.

Lu Yan didn't say anything. He just looked at her with a deeper look in his eyes.

After they got back, Lu's mother had already left. Only the two of them were left staring at each other.

Ning Anmiao took off the black suit first and complained as she hung it on the hanger. "Do you have to wear such heavy clothes every day? Why don't you try casual clothes?"

Lu Yan pursed his lips and looked at her for a long time.

"I'm not used to it." It took him a long time to say this faintly.

Not used to it?

Ning Anmiao raised her eyebrows slightly and rolled her eyes. Suddenly, she had an idea.

Now, she was using Lu Yan's body. How she dressed was up to her, wasn't it?

Thinking of this, she happily took out her phone and was about to send a text message to her assistant, asking him to buy a few sets of new clothes.

Anyway, they couldn't swap their bodies back for a while. So, why not...

Compared with Ning Anmiao's carefree and optimistic attitude, Lu Yan's expression became even more gloomy.

It was only the first day of swapping their bodies, and he had already experienced how difficult Ning Anmiao's life was.

How had she managed to get through these years?

He didn't dare to think about it.

Lu Yan always thought that in the few years since Ning Anmiao married him, although she wasn't happy and carefree, at least her life was comfortable and stable.

It turned out that he had been wrong all along.

Ning Anmiao wasn't as worried as he was. Instead, she was happily waiting for the assistant to deliver the clothes.

Wearing men's clothes, just thinking about it made her excited.

Lu Yan's assistant was very efficient. In less than an hour, he had bought all the types of clothes his boss had ordered.

While buying, he muttered that President Lu had really changed his taste and started to like these fresh and clean styles.

As soon as she got the new clothes, Ning Anmiao happily went into the room, leaving Lu Yan alone in the living room.

---

The room was well - lit. In front of the dressing mirror stood a tall and handsome man with a straight figure. The muscles under his shirt were faintly visible, showing a sexy and firm line.

Ning Anmiao looked at herself in the mirror. She was wearing gray sweatpants and a beige hoodie with a kangaroo pocket on top, which softened the man's originally tough face a bit.

"Well, not bad."

She nodded in satisfaction and thought that the man in the mirror seemed more gentle than before.

Not to mention anything else, in terms of clothing matching, Ning Anmiao was a professional with a solid foundation.

Looking at herself in the mirror, Ning Anmiao couldn't help but get closer and began to carefully examine the man's eyebrows and eyes.

His eyebrows were sharp, his facial features were three - dimensional and delicate, and his eyes were typical peach - blossom eyes, a very attractive look.

Ning Anmiao admitted that she was a bit shallow.

When she was in school, the reason why she liked Lu Yan was also because of his good looks.

In school, his eyes could be described as affectionate; since entering society, they had become colder and colder.

And it was even more difficult for her to understand him.

Perhaps, Ning Anmiao had never really understood Lu Yan from beginning to end.

It was the same when they were in love and when they got married. Every time, it was she who proposed first, and he agreed without much consideration.

It seemed that falling in love, getting married, and even the current situation of divorce were all just trivial matters to Lu Yan.

Recalling these things, Ning Anmiao's eyebrows dimmed a bit, and she felt indescribably depressed.

But now, this face was on her own body.

She shook her head to shake off the unpleasant memories in her mind and looked at her own work with satisfaction.

"To be honest, it would be a great choice to use this body to be a clothing model..."

"What are you up to?" Lu Yan didn't know when he had appeared in the room. His voice came over eerily, scaring Ning Anmiao.

"Why didn't you knock before you came in?" Ning Anmiao pretended to be tough and nervously touched her nose, not wanting Lu Yan to discover her intention of using his body as a clothing model just now.

Lu Yan waved the vibrating phone in his hand. "It's my mother's call."

"Answer your mother's call then. Why are you telling me..."

Half - way through, Ning Anmiao realized that it was Lu Yan's phone ringing, so it had to be answered by her, the "Lu Yan".

She immediately understood, took the phone, and pressed the speakerphone so that Lu Yan could listen too.

"Xiaoyan, I went to your house this morning."

Lu's mother's voice sounded extremely kind through the phone. "I hadn't even sat down for a while when Miaomiao rushed out. She didn't even offer me a cup of hot water."

Well, she came to complain so quickly.

Ning Anmiao looked at Lu Yan opposite. He frowned and pursed his lips tightly. When he heard his mother mention what had happened this morning, his face turned extremely dark.

She couldn't help but want to laugh.

Estimated that Lu's mother herself didn't expect that the slap didn't land on the daughter - in - law she was dissatisfied with, but on her own son's face instead.

"Got it, Mom. I'll tell Miaomiao to pay attention next time." While holding back her laughter, Ning Anmiao couldn't help but look at Lu Yan with a teasing look.

Lu Yan's face turned even darker.

Hearing that her son was on her side, Lu's mother felt a bit more at ease. After chatting for a while, she changed the topic.

"Come home for dinner this weekend. It's been a long time since you've accompanied Mom for a meal. Mom misses you."

She came to complain just now, and now she's playing the emotional card. This old lady really knows how to play the "green - tea" tricks.

After promising the old lady, Ning Anmiao put down the phone, folded her hands across her chest, and looked at Lu Yan leisurely.

"President Lu, are you going home for dinner this weekend?" Half - way through, Ning Anmiao changed her words with a smile. "No, I should call you 'Mrs. Lu' now."
